Hi Rich, how did you lose so much, it wasn't just by dieting, what else did you take? I had my surgery same time and I've lost only 68 lbs. I want to lose more and faster, what's the secret? Linda

Linda, I have stuck to under 900 calories a day, at least 60 grams Protein and under 40 grams carbohydrates. I have also gone to the gym as much as possible a minimum of 4 times a week doing 30 minutes cardio and 30 strength each time. As I lose weight I find it easier to keep active. Also I am drinking at least 90 oz of water(flavor enhanced) a day. Other then that I just take a GNC Multivitamin, Calcium, Iron, and Biotin daily.

I was one of the lucky ones that didn't have much trouble with liquids, I was doing 60 oz after the first week. I then upped it to the 90 oz at about 1 and a half months.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
